Since last December 2019, a syndrome of severe pneumonia associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is highly contagious and rapidly spread to many other parts of China and almost all countries all over the world, representing one of the most
Pre- procedure all parturients will be asked to be fasting for 8 hours for solid and 2 hours for clear liquids. Before ECV (as routinely done in ECV procedure), a cardiotocogram (CTG) and obstetric ultrasound will be done to confirm the fetal wellbeing and fetal position prior to procedure. The
Despite significant improvements in diagnostic and preventative measures, the incidence of sepsis has continued to escalate rapidly in hospitalized patients, with mortality rates ranging between 10 - 54%, depending on the level of severity. The earliest possible identification and assessment of
The dysfunction of wound healing in diabetes involves multiple healing processes by diminished inflammatory responses and delayed deposition of matrix components, wound remodeling, and closure. Furthermore, hyperglycemia increases the infection susceptibility of wounds. The wounds noted at distal
Background Complications of diabetes represent the main concern for modern diabetes therapy, and it has become a priority to further characterize the pathophysiological mechanisms of these complications to ensure the development of novel rational therapeutic strategies.
Although the prolonged
Emergency departments (ED) are becoming increasingly over-crowded, with patients facing prolonged waiting times. This is further aggravated by the shortage of available hospital space. Therefore, a safe and rapid triaging of patients is essential in improving the workflow within the ED, maximizing
Sepsis is a complex set of signs and symptoms caused by Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) to an infection. Sepsis-related mortality is directly proportional to the severity of organ dysfunction, and can be up to 80% in the case of septic shock.
Due to the pro-inflammatory response to

Rationale:
Contrary to hypoxia, many physicians do not consider hyperoxia harmful for their patients. To prevent hypoxia, superfluous administration of oxygen is common practice, and hyperoxia is seen in many patients, especially on Intensive Care units. However, an increasing number of studies not
Applying aortic cross-clamp (ACC) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for cardiac surgery produces variable systemic inflammatory reactions. As a common complication of those reactions, pulmonary dysfunction, which usually indicated by postoperative hypoxemia, is frequently associated with cardiac
Introduction. At the beginning of the 21st century, cancer is increasing in the aging population and patients often have a greater life expectancy than they did 40 years ago (Payne et al 2004). As people age, and the incidence of cancer increases, it is essential to push the frontiers of oncology
